Super Eagles head coach, José Santos Peseiro, has invited Italy-based in-form striker Victor Osimhen and captain of the Flying side that finished third at the just concluded Africa U20 Cup of Nations in Egypt, Daniel Bameyi,  as well as 21 other players to camp ahead of this month’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against the Djurtus of Guinea Bissau.

 Nigeria and Guinea Bissau clash at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium on Friday, March  24, and then make it a second date at the Estadio 24 de Setembro in Bissau on Monday, 27th March. 

Spain-based defender Kenneth Omeruo returns, as midfield enforcers Wilfred Ndidi and Frank Onyeka, and Portugal-based defender Bruno Onyemaechi gets an opportunity to vie for shirts against Semi Ajayi, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Kevin Akpoguma and Calvin Bassey.

Portugal-based left back Zaidu Sanusi is also back, and usual suspects Alex Iwobi, Joe Aribo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Terem Moffi and Paul Onuachu are also called.

 In-form goalkeeper Victor Sochima, one of the reasons Rivers United FC have inched close to a CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final ticket, will contend for the number one shirt with Francis Uzoho.
